I remember seeing Blondie at the Falls Fest in 98. Brilliant. But as a kid my parents would take us to a lot of festivals. I remember running around dancing, annoying people, stealing things, so much fun.
Ideal Lineup? AC DC, Stevie Wonder, Jackson 5, Oscar Peterson, Garth Brooks, Gunners, Roni Size, Ravi Shakar.

If we were hanging with you and your band backstage, what would we be getting up to?
Probably a few pushups, some weights, sit-ups, stretches and just amping up. We like to keep fit so we get pumped before a show working out.
If you could request anything on your rider what would it be?
The same thing I always ask for…Orange Gatorade and American chocolate, it’s the best!! (So no portable Jacuzzi??) nah man…but it might be from now on!!
Give one of your personal favourite bands a plug.
Two from Memphis hard ass rocking bands…Cavo and Sawash…check em out
What's your most essential item to take on tour?
My computer man…..I can escape, work, communicate or whatever. I need my computer everywhere I go!!
What's your secret talent?
HAHAHAHAH….I don’t have one….I like to cook but I’m not real good!
AND... Where are we best to stalk you: MySpace, Facebook or Twitter? Which one's updated the most?
All of em, we use all of them. We have both personal and Shinedown Facebooks, Myspace and Twitter and we are on them all the time…obsessively…
